he doing ok tim? sounded like he went thru a lot
He's getting better. He's working his way out of the financial hole he was in. He said he's feeling better mentally as well.

See, too many guys named Steve. Although, I must admit that Steve Schuerger does look and sound very familiar.
He was around. He went through a lot last year. Lost his apartment, his cat, his reef tank, and then his wife in a short time.
 
Hope everyone has an amazing day today! Pretty chill day for me for once, so I am thankful for that!
 
Ok, you’re one, I’m pretty sure Jimmy and Joel will know so that leaves just four of us in the old geezer club.
Can't say I feel very geezerish, just a really experienced teenager.

Please pass along my best to him.
 
Ohhhh, I caught it. Better a FIB than a FISH! I did live in WI for a number of years. Up near Door County. Had a 40 acre hobby farm. I loved it.


Drop a quick message for him on his thread. He checks and responds to it nearly every day.
I always just jump on his thread.
Thank you . He finally got back with me .
 
Good morning to all you Smorgers.

It's Thursday and I am wondering where the week has gone, so far. Hope you all make it a great one!

Only 20 days left before Christmas.
 
I bought a wifi adapter at over half off. Not to mention, I was able to get a $200 wireless keyboard for free from my wife's cousin since he didn't want it anymore.
I forgot to look at new routers. mines getting old.

Apparently, we have an internet cap at our place. I ended up using 1.5-1.8tb in a month on accident, haha
